No cord nor cable can so forcibly draw, or hold so fast, as love can do with a twined thread.

The Noisiest buzz in the industry lately has been over the emerging use of cable TV systems to provide fast network data transmissions using a device called a cable modem. But the likelihood of this technology succeeding is zilch.
John C. Dvorak
Every sinful act is another cord woven into that mighty cable of habit, which binds the spirit to the throne of darkness.
Thomas David
Habit is a cable; we weave a thread of it each day, and at last we cannot break it.
Horace Mann
So hold my hand, I'm going down fast,
And if I return, I'll never more be blue
It's not the leaving of all I love that makes me cry
But my darling, when I think of you.Hoyt Axton
Ah! How neatly tied, in these people, is the umbilical cord of morality! Since they left their mothers they have never sinned, have they? They are apostles, they are the descendants of priests; one can only wonder from what source they draw their indignation, and above all how much they have pocketed to do this, and in any case what it has done for them.
